The luminescence of Ce3+ in borate, borosilicate, phosphate and germanate glasses containing La2O3,BaO, Ta2O5,Nb2O5 were measured by ultraviolet-visible excitation with an aim of identifying the effect of hosts on the spectroscopic properties of Ce3+ in these glasses. Meanwhile, the scintillating luminescence of some of these borate glasses were determined by x-ray radiation in order to understand the possibility of borate glass as Ce3+-doped dense glass scintillator.
